Keppel Hitachi Zosen Wins $74.6 million Contract Keppel Hitachi Zosen has clinched a contract to build two cable laying and repair vessels for a total contract value of more than $74.6 million from C. S. Tycom Reliance, Inc., a subsidiary of Tyco Submarine Systems Ltd. Work on the two newbuildings has commenced, with the first vessel sched- uled for delivery in the third quarter, and the second vessel in the fourth quarter of 2001. The cable laying and repair ves- sels, each 7,800-dwt, are twinscrew, diesel electric-driven and dynamically positioned ships. Measuring 459 ft. (140 m), a breadth of 69 ft. (21 m), with a designed load draft of 25 ft. (7.8 m), the vessels will both have a speed of 13.9 knots. Bath Iron Works Lands $9.2 Million Project The Office Of Naval Research award- ed $9.2 million to General Dynamics Bath Iron Works to design and manu- facture an advanced propulsion system for a technical demonstration vessel. Known as Advanced Hull Form Inshore Demonstrator (AHFID), the project directly supports the Navy's decision to implement electric drive in future naval combatants. The AHFID award is the culmination of the Office of Naval Research technology symposium for Maine businesses and educational insti- tutions held in Portland during June 1999. The propulsion motor will be housed in a pod fabricated with advanced composite materials designed by the University. The pod, which will contain embedded sensors that can cal- culate the performance of the propul- sion motor, will be able to monitor the structural health of the composite mate- rias.

Malcolm will focus on pro- viding creative engineering solutions on floating production systems including HEAVY-DUTY SIGNALS by Model S-120 Piston Horn Chosen for use on aircraft carriers as well as commercial vessels over 200 meters in length, the S-120 utilizes an oscillating piston driven by 7-1/2 horse- power 3 phase 220/440 volt electric motor producing 143 dB and a funda- mental frequency of 94 Hz in 1/3 octave band at one meter. PMM Kahlenberg Signals were developed to withstand the pun- ishing use of commercial and military service. Their dura- bility has been demonstrated over decades of service on ocean-going vessels ranging from naval warships to com- mercial vessels. Military specifications have required extensive testing for many of these whistles and the accessories supplied with them, which have proven the exceptional qualities of Kahlenberg design and manufac- turing.
